 | Charlie F.( 30s, Male, United Kingdom )It's good to see someone trying something different. It's no secret that Christmas parties aren't selling as well as they have in the past, so why not give something new a go? At the very least, it's got people talking. Katie – I think ‘tragic, inappropriate and desperate’ goes a bit far. Many event companies, restaurants, venues and bars rely on Christmas trade to stay afloat/make a profit for the year, so anything Impulse can do to sell its last few nights is fair and justified. I think you're right when you suggest it's just something the company's trialing, just to see how it goes. In reality, if AW is right and Impulse hasn't sold parties on the nights and are attempting to shift the last few like this, so what?! At the end of the day, it's only 4 nights out of a whole Christmas season, so I don't think it says too much about the company's ability to deliver, or the state of the industry. I would question the practicality of putting them on Ebay, though. I mean, is the company's party planner/social secretary going to bid for it with their account and pay for it using their own PayPal facility? I can't see companies setting up Ebay accounts purely for one bid, unless they're getting a massively discounted rate which, I guess, they may well be…
